iMac G5 graphics card

Hi All,

The iMac G5 would be an amazing machine (even more than it already is), with its design, if it had more video card options. Is there any way any one can think of that a 128 mb Geforce or ATI card can be put into one of these machines?

Most likely not, since the video card is integrated and there are no expansion slots.

If you need the G5 power and hardware flexibility, you have to pick a powermac.

Methinks that there's enough heat in these new boxes already. If the video card had too swanky a video card, it wouldn't get enough cool air from the design.
